| 27. Nobody From The South Signed King George's Agreement |

That was sort of the point of the Constitution. We told the king to go bye-bye because we didn't agree to that form of rule. The south agreed to the Constitution, in full. That included the two clauses mentioned by another poster.
So, your flippant dismissal of same by referencing King George is a nonsequitur. The whole point of the constitution and the formation of this government was that people had a basic framework they were VOLUNTARILY agreeing to uphold. Deciding after the fact to secede would not be consisent with upholding that legal and binding agreement.
